Chapter 265

Changsun Chong felt very depressed, and when he came back, he was scolded by a scolding of his head, and then he was kicked twice, and he didn't understand what was going on at all.

After figuring it out, Changsun Chong was also very helpless, who knew that the brick mill made money, and he didn't dare to speak at all when he was beaten and scolded, there was no way, he really missed the opportunity.

"I'm angry with the old man, people take you to make money, you don't go, and you don't make money, what do you say about not making money, what do you do that is at a loss, you don't have any brains, besides, what about losing a few hundred yuan? If you lose, next time you have a good opportunity, he will definitely call you to go, you yourself know that the business that Wei Hao did is not to make a lot of money, just a brick and tile, and he will make tens of thousands of dollars a year! Changsun Wuji stared at Changsun Chong, and Changsun Chong stood there and didn't dare to refute.

"Eh, I'm so angry with the old man!" The eldest grandson Wuji sat there and said breathlessly, it's really angry, this is money.

And in the mansions of other princes, the same is true, those people are being scolded.

Wei Hao didn't know this, but went to the Lizheng Palace for lunch, and the eldest grandson queen loved Wei Hao very much.

"The new mansion, the bricks have been obtained, last time I heard your father say that you are going to build a brick factory, get it?" Empress Eldest Sun sat there, looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Got it! Now that the green bricks have also come out, building a mansion, I will definitely not worry about the bricks, and I have handed over the affairs of the mansion to my brother-in-law to do, anyway, they have nothing else to do now! Wei Hao said to Empress Eldest Sun.

"Well, you don't have any brothers, not even cousins, and now you have those brothers-in-law to help you, it's also good! It's good to get the bricks out! Empress Eldest Sun nodded with a smile.

"Now because of those bricks, it is estimated that many children of the prince will be beaten, I heard that you called them?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao with a smile and asked.

"I asked Cheng to call them, hey, father, don't mention this matter, if you mention it, you will get angry, you say I called them to build a brick workshop, but they didn't come, isn't this looking down on people? There's no way in the back, they don't have any money, so I have to lend them money! Wei Hao immediately said to Li Shimin.

"What's going on?" Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Shimin and Wei Hao incomprehensibly.

"That brick mill is very profitable, and it is estimated that there are still 350,000 yuan a year! So I called them to come together, originally those grandfathers told me before, they wanted me to take them to make money, I thought, this opportunity is also good, so I called them to come together, but I didn't expect them to come! Wei Hao said with a smile to Empress Eldest Sun.

"Oh, they can't come if they can make thirty or fifty thousand yuan?" Empress Eldest Sun also looked at Wei Hao in surprise and asked.

"yes, they don't believe me, eh!" Wei Hao nodded and said with a sigh.

"Well, next time they don't come, you come to the queen mother, the queen mother will give you money, Hao'er does things, the queen mother knows, you won't do things that you are not sure of!" Empress Eldest Sun said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"Well, next time they don't come, I'll look for you!" Wei Hao also said with a smile.

"During this time, I was busy with the brick shop, and I didn't know if I went to the palace to see the queen mother, and Lizhi, you two haven't seen each other for a few days, right?" Empress Eldest Sun looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Well, he's lazy, hiding at home and not coming out!" Li Lizhi immediately said with a chuckle.

"What's the matter, I'm busy making iron every day, drawing drawings, this time I'm really not lazy!" Wei Hao immediately emphasized.

"Well, this I can testify that Shen Yong is indeed busy with iron matters." Li Shimin immediately said next to him that he had seen Wei Hao draw those drawings.

"Oh, then take a break, your father is too, looking for you for everything, the queen mother also said about your father, however, your father said that there are some things that only you can do, Hao'er, you just work hard, tired, just lazy, don't listen to your father, how can you not rest!" When Empress Eldest Sun heard this, she immediately said to Wei Hao.

"Well, it's better to be the queen mother!" Wei Hao immediately nodded and said happily,

Li Shimin next to him was depressed, this rabbit cub was not bad to him, he always said that the queen mother was good.

"You're going out on an errand in a few days?" Li Lizhen asked Wei Hao at this moment.

"That's right, it's not far, it's a matter of riding for an hour, and I can come back in the evening if I want to!" Wei Hao said to Li Lizhi with a smile.

"Oh, then you have to be safe!" Li Lizhi said worriedly, she was very worried about Wei Hao being assassinated before.

"Don't worry, girl, my father has mobilized 10,000 troops, and it is by his side!" Li Shimin immediately said to Li Liqing.

"Well, thank you, Father!" Li Lizhi heard it and said happily to Li Shimin.

At noon, after Wei Hao finished lunch here, he was going to go back directly, but after thinking that he hadn't seen Li Yuan for a long time, he went to Da'an Palace to have a look.

"Okay, you rabbit cub, ah, you said yourself, how long has it been since you came, and the land at home has been planted?" Li Yuan saw Wei Hao coming, and immediately stood up, just now he was basking in the sun in the courtyard, and no one played mahjong with him.

"Huh? Why didn't you play mahjong? Wei Hao saw it, looked at Li Yuan in surprise and asked.

"What kind of mahjong are playing, eh, now those boys are busy, the old man hasn't played for a few days, you're done, it's good to be busy, you're done, play with the old man!" Li Yuan happily took Wei Hao's hand and asked Wei Hao to sit down and said.

"I don't have time to play, didn't I say I was going to make iron? I guess this thing, not two months, can't be completed, I still have to go out of the city on an errand, but, if you are bored, accompany me to run an errand, anyway, you are also bored in the palace, it is better to go with me to get iron, so that I can still find someone to play cards with you! Wei Hao looked at Li Yuan with a smile and said.

"Then Cheng, go, the old man will accompany you, this palace is boring!" Li Yuan didn't even think about it, so he had to accompany Wei Hao.

"You still have to talk to your father about this, otherwise, it will be troublesome then, Wei Hao still thinks I will do something to you." Wei Hao said with a smile.

"Cheng, when, remember to let me know." Li Yuan nodded and said,

Wei Hao thought in his heart, Li Yuan went, why should he take 10,000 people with him, in this case, who would dare to sneak attack him, how bold?

After chatting with Li Yuan for a while, Wei Hao went back, and when he got home, Wei Hao continued to be busy with his own affairs, and Wei Furong also knew that Wei Hao had been busy during this time, so he didn't come to Wei Hao, anyway, those lands had already been planted.

Wei Furong was okay just to sit in a carriage and go to those farmlands to inspect and see how the seedlings were growing, whether they were short of fertilizer or sick, for these, Wei Furong was very familiar with them.

In the evening, Wei Hao's eldest brother-in-law, you Cui came in, and after finishing dinner in the house, he didn't see Wei Hao, so he went to Wei Hao's small courtyard, Wei Hao was in the study, and he could only wait in the living room.

"Brother-in-law, are you looking for me?" When Wei Hao arrived in the living room, he asked Cui Jin.

"Well, that, little brother, I heard from my father that you are hiding in your own courtyard every day, and you don't know what you are busy with, so I came to see you!" Cui Jin stood up and said to Wei Hao.

"Eh, I'm busy with iron things, things that were set last year, I'm going to go out in a few days, are you going to go? I always have money for a month, and I don't need you to work when I go over there to manage people! Wei Hao sat down, looked at Cui Jin and asked.

"Go, but, your second brother-in-law doesn't have time, your fourth brother-in-law probably doesn't have time, now he has to keep an eye on the matter of the brick mill, the other brothers-in-law, they still have time, and they will all go, anyway, there is nothing to do at home!" As soon as Cui Jin heard Wei Hao say this, he immediately nodded and said, Wei Hao told them about this matter last time.

"Cheng, then let's go, I'll see, can I make you the steward over there, if you can be in charge of that side for a long time, it is estimated that the salary is not low, and it is also a royal meal!" Wei Hao said to Cui Jin.

"If I have a consistent salary for a month, then what else do I teach, I don't have so much salary for teaching!" Cui Jin said with a smile, teaching is at most 20 yuan a day, and a month is only 600 yuan.

"Well, okay! When the time comes, you can think about it yourself, and help a few of you get a fixed thing first! Wei Hao said to Cui Jin.

"By the way, little brother, I have something to tell you, that is, Wei Cong may be promoted and go to the Ministry of Rites, he seems to have served as an official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs before, and this time, haven't many officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs been arrested?

Now the Ministry of Civil Affairs has transferred officials from other departments, and the newly established Supervision Yuan has also transferred a lot of officials, as if Wei Cong was looking for someone to do activities, so he transferred the Ministry of Rites, my eldest brother means, I don't know if I can take over the Chang'an County Order. Cui Jin said embarrassedly to Wei Hao.

"Your eldest brother has only been in the county for a short time, first understand the situation in Chang'an City, Chang'an's county order is not easy to do, otherwise, Wei Cong will not want to be promoted, it stands to reason that being a county order is more comfortable than an official of the same level, but only Chang'an County is difficult to be,

You let your eldest brother think clearly, whether to continue to be a county magistrate, and have the opportunity to be transferred to other places to be a county magistrate in the future, or to go directly to the six departments, this Chang'an county order, I suggest that your eldest brother, don't think about it, the foundation is unstable, plus your eldest brother has just come up, he doesn't know a lot of situations in Chang'an City, so he wants to serve as a county magistrate, if you don't do it, once you offend that magnate, you will be taken down directly, it is better to be cautious. Wei Hao thought about it for a moment and said to Cui Jin.

"Eh, okay, listen to you, the main reason is that my sister-in-law keeps talking about this in my ear, but my eldest brother didn't say it." Cui Jin nodded and said with a smile,

Wei Hao nodded when he heard it, and knew in his heart that without Cui Cheng beside him, could his sister-in-law say that? Cui Cheng still hopes to be promoted, but when he was transferred from Luoyang to Chang'an City, he was originally promoted, but how long has it been, and he still wants to be promoted, and he is still the county commander of Chang'an City, how can it be so easy.

"Well, this matter, you go back and tell your eldest brother the truth, I don't recommend serving as a county commander, at least now and it's not appropriate, the county governor of Chang'an City, I suggest that he serve for more than two years, it's too early to be promoted and moved!" Wei Hao looked at Cui Jin and said, Cui Jin smiled and nodded,

Soon, Cui Jin left, and the curfew was about to begin, and he didn't dare to stay too late. And Wei Hao continued to be busy with those things,

The next day, Wei Hao sent a list of the materials he needed, as well as the types of craftsmen he needed, and after Li Shimin got the list, he immediately handed it over to Fang Xuanling.

At noon, Wei Hao was still drawing drawings at home, and at this time, someone from the concierge reported: "The servant is coming!" ”

As soon as Wei Hao heard this, he immediately went to the front yard, and just arrived at the front yard, Fang Xuanling had already come in. "I've seen a servant shoot!" Wei Hao immediately said to Fang Xuanling.

"Well, the old man is looking for something for you, didn't bother you, right?" Fang Xuanling said to Wei Hao with a smile.

"No, please go to my courtyard!" Wei Hao smiled and bowed his hand to Fang Xuanling, and made a gesture of please.

"Please!" Fang Xuanling also said to Wei Hao with a smile, and soon, Fang Xuanling and Wei Hao arrived at the living room of Wei Hao's small courtyard, and the servants immediately brought His Highness and water.

"Servant shot, if there is anything, please just say it!" Wei Hao looked at Fang Xuanling and said.

"Shen Yong, the old man has something to ask for, and when it comes to this matter, the old man also takes a lead, and I hope you can agree!" Fang Xuanling said to Wei Hao.

"Seeking each other? The servant shot, this is too serious, you just command! Wei Hao also immediately returned the salute and said, thinking in his heart, what is the matter, and he still needs to let Fang Xuanling come to the door in person.

"Shen Yong, this time you make iron, you must need some assistants, including after you get it out, the old man estimates that you will definitely not stay there for a long time, so there is a need for someone to manage it, the old man wants to recommend my eldest man Fang Zhizhi to serve as your assistant, okay?" Fang Xuanling sat there, looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Huh? This, the servant shot, this thing, you tell me it's useless, right? Wei Hao heard it and was stunned for a moment, who was his assistant, and that was his own decision? That's Li Shimin's final say, besides, just an assistant, Fang Xuanling came over in person? He can arrange it himself.

"Shen Yong, you may not have heard what the old man said just now, have you been managing the iron mill in the future?" Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Hao with a smile and said.

"Oh, I see, I see!" Wei Hao only understood what was going on at this moment, his feelings were that after he left, Fang Yizhi would be able to take over and manage this iron workshop, and then Wei Hao said a little incomprehensibly: "Fang Servant Shooting, there is one thing that the younger generation does not know, that is, this iron workshop, the level will not be high, just your eldest man, there is still a lack of such an opportunity?" ”

"You, you still don't understand the affairs of the court, you said before, your iron mill can produce 2 million catties of iron a year, isn't it?" Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Hao with a smile and said,

Wei Hao nodded.

"A workshop like this, the grade will not be lower than the fourth grade, and the old man also knows that an iron workshop, but it manages tens of thousands of people, which is almost equivalent to a county order, my family has not been to the local area, if you go to the iron mill this time, it is equivalent to going to the local exercise,

If you can take over your position, to the position of the fourth grade, the old man will not worry, the future road, he should go by himself, the key is, the old man will not expire you, if you really get out, then those who assist you in the work, there are also rewards, and they are also considered meritorious! Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Hao and said truthfully.

"Oh, okay, that, no problem, as long as you can get it in yourself, there is no problem on my side, I won't take care of any iron mill, I have a problem, I will manage such a thing!" Wei Hao nodded with a smile and said, it doesn't matter who cares, anyway, he just doesn't care.

"If there is no problem on your side, the old man will go and tell His Majesty, no matter what, the old man also needs to talk to you, right? In the future, my eldest man needs to work with you, if there is anything wrong, please bear with me! Fang Xuanling said to Wei Hao.

"Look at what you said! Don't worry, I'm sure I won't hit him! Wei Hao smiled at Fang Xuanling and said,

Fang Xuanling heard it, laughed, and then said: "My eldest man, he is more pedantic, that is, he has read too much, and he knows that the words of the sage shall prevail, this, you still help to govern, he, he has not been to the local experience, he doesn't understand it at all, this official does things, and it is not good to rely on it, you, you can scold as much as you want, you can beat it, don't be disabled, I know my kid, a tendon!" ”

"Oh, Uncle Fang, don't worry, I won't beat him!" Wei Hao hurriedly spoke, Fang Xuanling stopped Wei Hao from continuing, and motioned for him to listen to himself: "It's okay to fight, the old man said, the old man just wants him to follow you and change his book anger, he, the book is too angry!" ”

"Cheng, you can rest assured!" Wei Hao nodded and said.

"The other one, the old man also wants to remind you, that position, I don't know how many people are worried about it, you hand in the list today, everyone will know, you are going to start getting it,

The old man estimates that many people went to His Majesty in the afternoon and said that they would arrange for people to come in, and those people are all going for this credit, and you can count it yourself! Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Hao and said,

Wei Hao heard it, thought for a moment and nodded.

"It's okay to want to share some credit, but you can't let them delay you from doing things, I estimate that the sons of those Guogongs who went this time will not be less than ten!" Fang Xuanling continued to say to Wei Hao.

"So much?" Wei Hao heard it and looked at Fang Xuanling in shock.

"You are fragrant now, this iron is more important than salt, with iron, for the military strength of my Datang, it is necessary to improve a few levels, now the Turks, Tuguhun, Tubo, have been eyeing them, Your Majesty also wants to clean them up, but now the strength is not enough, but if there is enough iron out, it will be different." Fang Xuanling explained to Wei Hao.
